Sting

In October 1990, Sting delivered a stirring performance of 'King of Pain' at the Amnesty International concert held at Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile. This period marked a significant chapter in Sting's career as he was riding the waves of success following his critically acclaimed album, '...Nothing Like the Sun,' released just a couple of years prior in 1987. The live recording not only showcased his deep connection to social issues but also celebrated a momentous time for Chile as it had recently emerged from a long dictatorship. It's fascinating to note that this concert was part of a global campaign promoting human rights, a cause deeply important to Sting, often reflected in his music. His presence in Chile helped amplify the voices of those struggling for freedom, making this performance memorable both musically and politically.
